Are we all depressed in the OFT? Seems like half of us are gonna join Isis or some shyt while the other half are like whats the point of life.
Perhaps
I think maybe it's just concentrated cynicism and realism in here. This may be one quasi refuge that is somewhat impervious to the aspirational rigors of the outside internet lands. This is all of those pretenses, those facades shed because of comfort and familiarity. Yeah shyt could prove to be somewhat embarrassing but that is what makes OFT slightly special and unique, in its acceptance of oddness and reality all in one, in the face of homogeneity and artificiality that we are battered with in the alfresco internet.
Uhhh...but yeah beyond that y'know, I was really thinking about it the other day and it is so increasingly difficult to perfectly define or articulate exactly what it is that brings happiness. For instance I have different impulses for different times. I want women at one moment, money at another, freedom at some other time, direction and purpose at another.
And really most of those don't really provide much sustenance in terms of happiness. Like I'm out trying and sleeping with women and I don't feel anything. Any sort of money I have means really nothing to me, just a few numbers on a computer screen, and work is generally unfulfilling. And with that I think you can probably get to the nub of the entire issue by saying that happiness and its definition is hopelessly arcane and indefinable and, maybe unattainable. Nothing new there but fukk...it's really what brings about a lot of feelings of depression, inadequacy, self-loathing, so on and so forth.
And really things I think will get worse. I read an article about how loneliness is a real epidemic among young adults and old people alike, with society of course fracturing. And all for what? Individualism? A pair of new jeans? A decent house? An exhilarating hobby? Your stupid business? Money? Please. Means fukk all. Fact is that hobbies and jobs are used to define people while being hopelessly inadequate at doing just that, and becoming rich is essentially a chase to eradicate hardship and discomfort for comfort and stability, which of course becomes boring, so you end up spending your money for thrills and hardship like the less well-off live.
Like I said, nothing new, but my two cents I suppose. Soz for the rant
, this western world keeps becoming more demonic and ridiculous everyday. why are these talentless reality people everywhere i look or watch
I don't want that on my resume.
